INC. BEECHCRAFT BARON 58, N1553W LHILLICOTHE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT CHILLICOTHE, MISSOURI AUGUST 3, 1976 SYNGPSIS About 2116 c.d.t. on August 3, 1976, a Rupp Automotive, Tnc., Beechcraft Baron 58 crashed after takeoff from the Chillicothe Municipal Airport, Chillicothe, Missouri. All occupants--the pilot and five passengers--died in the crash. The aircraft was destroyed. At the airport, the nignt sky was dark but clear and the visibility was about 15 miles. After takeoff, the aircraft climbed to an altitude of between 50 and 100 feet above the runway where the left engine failed. The aircraft turned to the left, descended abruptly into a field, exploded, and burned. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of this accident was the sudden failure of the airplane's left engine at a point on the takeoff flightpath whcre the airplane's single-engine performance in the takeoff configuration and its height above the ground combined to make the pilot's ability to sustain flight mareinal. The pilot's failure to retract the landing gear and control the airplane to maintain a safe airspeed contributed to the accident and 1 '. were factors in causing the high acceleration loads when the airplane struck the ground. -2- 1. INVESTIGATION i -I 1.1 History of Flight On August 3, 1976, the pilot of a Rupp Automotive, Inc., Beechcraft Baron 58, N1553W. was operating the aircraft on a noncommtrci:l passenger flight from the Chillicothe Municipal Airport, Chillicothe, Xissouri, to Kansas City, Missouri. In addition to the pilot, there /!I were five passengers aboard the aircraft. I ~ At 1658 11. the pilot checked the weather and filed an instrument flight rules (IFR) flight plan with the Columbia. Missouri, flight service station. He estimated his time of departure from Chillicothe to be 2100 and his time en route to,Kansas City as 20 minutes. The pilot intended to activate the flight plan after departing Chillicothe Airport because the airport had no air traffic control facilities. About 2110, witnesses saw the pilot taxi the aircraft to the Ill approach end of runway 14. One witless noted that the pilot stopped the aircraft on the approach taxiway and performed pretakeoff checks. About $1 I 2115, they saw the aircraft roll down runway 14 and take off with no apparent problems. According to one witness, he lact saw the aircraft climbing normally at an altitude of 100 to 150 feet above the runway. Ii His attention was momentarily diverted by another witness, but after hearing a popping sound, he turned and looked for the aircraft. He did i ,I not see it, but inatead saw a ball of fire east of the airport. The accident occurred at night (about 21161, at an elevation of 780 feet m.s.1.. and at latitude 39' 47' N. and longitude 90' 30' W. 1.2 Injuries to Persons -In- -Crew Passengers -Other- Fatal 1 5 0 aonfatal 0 0 0 None 0 0 1.3 Damage to Aircraft The aircraft was destroyed. 1.4 Other Damage Portions of a soybean field and a wire fence were substantially daaged. ... -1/ All times are central daylight, based on the 24-hour clock. I T I i . .. - 1.5 Crew Information The pilot was qualified aud certificated for the flight in accordance with current regulations. (See Appendix B.) On the day of the accident, the pilot and his wife left the Laice of the Ozarks, Missouri, in N1553W in the early afternoon and arrived at Chillicothe Airport about 1400. They had spent the previous night at their vacation cottage in the Lake of the Ozarks. 1.6 Aircraft Information N1553W. a Beechcraft Baroq 58, serial No. 240, was owned by Rupp Automotive, Inc. It had operated a total of 1,135.4 hours since its date of manufacture, June 9, 1971. The last annual inspection was completed on August 14, 1975, and additional maintenance was accomplished on March 3, 1976. N1553W was equipped with two Teledyne Continental Motors model IO-520-C piston engines. Each engine was equipped with a Hartzell, model BHC-JZYF-2CF, two-blade propeller. Both engines and propellers had acclunulated 1.135.4 hours in service. The engine log books indicated that neither engine had been overhauled since nlamfacture. The suggested time-between-overhauls for the IO-520-C engine is 1,500 hours. According to the logs, because of a cracked crankcase, major repairs had been made to the left engine In August 1975. The repairs involved the installatioo of a uew crankcase, new main bearings, and new piston rings. The engine had operated 2-.4 hours since these repairs were made. N1553W had been last serviced with 46 gallons of 100-octane aviation gasoline; it had 172 gallons of fuel in its tanks. Its certificated maximum gross weight for takeoff was 5,400 lbs. Using approximate passenger weights, known passenger seating locations, and approximate baggage weights and locations, the gross weight of the aircraft at takeoff Uas estimated to have been 5,496 lbs., and its center of gravity was near the center of prescribed limits. 1.7 Meteorological Information The National Weather Service did not have a weather observation station a: Chillicothe; therefore, r10 official observations were available. Nearby stations, including Kansas City, were reporting clear skies, visibilities of 10 to 15 miles, temperatures from 78" F. to 83' F., and light (6-to 7-kn) surface winds from the east, southeast, or southwest. According to witnesses at Chillicothe Airport, the night sky was dark, but clear, and the winds were light from the south. -4- 1.8 Aids to Navigation Not involved. 1.9 Communications Chillicothe Airport is an uncontrolled airport.

  • Aviation Activity Forecasts BOWERS FIELD AIRPORT AIRPORT MASTER PLAN
    Chapter 3 – Aviation Activity Forecasts BOWERS FIELD AIRPORT AIRPORT MASTER PLAN Chapter 3 – Aviation Activity Forecasts The overall goal of aviation activity forecasting is to prepare forecasts that accurately reflect current conditions, relevant historic trends, and provide reasonable projections of future activity, which can be translated into specific airport facility needs anticipated during the next twenty years and beyond. Introduction This chapter provides updated forecasts of aviation activity for Kittitas County Airport – Bowers Field (ELN) for the twenty-year master plan horizon (2015-2035). The most recent FAA-approved aviation activity forecasts for Bowers Field were prepared in 2011 for the Airfield Needs Assessment project. Those forecasts evaluated changes in local conditions and activity that occurred since the previous master plan forecasts were prepared in 2000, and re-established base line conditions. The Needs Assessment forecasts provide the “accepted” airport-specific projections that are most relevant for comparison with the new master plan forecasts prepared for this chapter. The forecasts presented in this chapter are consistent with Bowers Field’s current and historic role as a community/regional general aviation airport. Bowers Field is the only airport in Kittitas County capable of accommodating a full range of general aviation activity, including business class turboprops and business jets. This level of capability expands the airport’s role to serve the entire county and the local Ellensburg community. The intent is to provide an updated set of aviation demand projections for Bowers Field that will permit airport management to make the decisions necessary to maintain a viable, efficient, and cost-effective facility that meets the area’s air transportation needs.
